Hingga akhirnya mereka kalah dan dalam keadaan yang sudah sangat tidak imbang tersebut Belanda menabrakkan dan melindas kerumunan tentara TRIP sampai mereka tewas dengan sebuah Tank AM-TRACK. Tank tersebut tersimpan rapi dan baik di Museum Brawijaya Malang dan masih kita bisa saksikan sekarang sebagai saksi bisu kekejaman Belanda pada Agresi Militer Belanda I.
